IQ Assessments

The testing to determine eligibility for a Gifted Identification (in various school boards) is a half-day process. Standardized measures evaluate the child's overall intellectual functioning, as well as identifying areas of relative strength and weakness. A screening of the child's foundational academic skills is also included.
